Its lyrics, which describe starting a new life alone away from home, make it a perfect springtime anthem.

In Mizuho Bank’s commercial introducing a new-account campaign tailored to the start of a new life, “New My Normal” has been featured.

It’s a song by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, presented as the first track of their so-called Phase 2 when they resumed activities in 2022.

While it sings about the frustration of not being able to convey heartfelt words to someone important, its lyrics also carry a message of everyday happiness and of continuing to live authentically.

Many listeners likely felt a sense of reassurance, as if their own selves were being affirmed.

The announcement commercial for the Southern All Stars feature streaming on U-NEXT uses “Sakura, Hirari.” It’s a digital-only single released in January 2025.

The lyrics are said to sing of the feelings of earthquake victims, and while they convey pain and sorrow, they also evoke a sense of strength and hope to move forward again.

Its beautiful, warm, spring-like imagery is also captivating, making it a heartwarming song.

Aimer’s “April Showers” is a song that makes you believe the rain will stop someday, and encourages you to take it step by step as you begin a new life in spring.

Included on the 2019 album “Penny Rain,” the track was featured in earth music & ecology’s “Toward Ethical” commercial starring Suzu Hirose.

April, when many people start new chapters, often doesn’t go smoothly, and there will be plenty of days that bring you to tears.

But all the tears you shed this month will surely turn into strength next month and help you take a step forward.

Its lyrics, which inspire such a positive mindset, are woven with the poetic language so characteristic of Aimer.

A pop tune by Remioromen that gently sings of feelings for a loved one beneath full-bloom cherry blossoms.

With the arrival of spring, it brings a warm light of hope to listeners’ hearts.

Released in February 2009 as a digital-only single, it was featured in commercials for au by KDDI and Sony Ericsson mobile phones.

It continues to resonate with many as a song to listen to during the spring season, when the cherry blossoms are in bloom.

TBS '1999 Spring'

That paper airplane splits the cloudy sky19

The music group 19 captivated the youth of the time with just a few songs.

Their signature track is Ano Kami Hikōki Kumorizora Watte (Paper Airplane Cutting Through a Cloudy Sky).

The lyrics, which feel like they blow away the unique haze of adolescence, still have a striking appeal even now.

The sound and message—symbolizing everyone’s hopes and evoking the sense of new beginnings in spring—are brilliantly radiant.

Though 19 sadly disbanded in 2002, I believe many fans still hope for their return today.

AKB48’s “Sakura no Shiori” is also very popular as a graduation song.

Released in 2010 as AKB’s 15th single, it featured Minami Takahashi and Atsuko Maeda in the center positions.

The music video is memorable for the members in furisode kimono, and unlike a catchy idol pop tune, it’s a choral piece—something a bit different.

It’s a perfect choice for a graduation chorus.

For those about to graduate, it’s a tearjerker that brings out strong feelings toward friends and teachers.
